DSC problem

[banconi]

Like in a subject, I have a problem instaling and using DSC module for LV.

This problem is the same on versions from 8.0 to 8.5, because I tried them all.

1.  When I try to install DSC over regular LV, everything goes well with the installation until reboot.
2.  After rebooting at the end of installation (on a first windows start after installation), I am getting error message on MSDE Setup (picture in attachment), related with administrator account on my computer. Yes, I am doing all of this with admin account.
3.  When I try to manually execute msdesetup.exe, like it's suggested in previous message, I am getting another error message that says "Error while lounching MSDE setup!".
4. Then, DSC have such behavior that it crashes when I try to deploy shared variables.

Any suggestions, please?
Thnx in advance!

You could also try to use MS SQL server express with the DSC module.

It seems that either MSDE (Microsoft Sql Desktop Engine) is not (properly) installed.

Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This error may be because of a Microsoft Registry error. While the LabVIEW DSC module setup is executing, it performs an install of Microsoft's MSDE SQL Server. This error message most likely indicates that a problem was encountered while Setup was registering SQL Server Performance Monitor counters. I would suggest performing the steps that are said here. I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with or clarify. Have a great day!

I have tried to log the setup fault, like it's said in your first step, but it crashes at the very begining. It acctually doesn't even creat a log file, but crashes immedeatly.

I didn't try the SQL Express. How can I use it? Is it included in DSC setup as an option, or I must install it manualy?

Hi B.

I would suggest going though all the steps under the Resolution heading in the previous KB. These steps should fix the issue with the registry and solve the errors you are seeing.

SQL Server Express is available on the DSC Setup CD/DVD that you have. It will be under Products » SQLServerEx.wrap.msi. If you can't find it, you can also get it from here.

Let me know if this helps.
